Launceston Race 3 - Victory Images Photography Stakes

CAPTAIN PINS (13) is a talented gelding first up from a break of four-and-a-half months who generally comes to hand quickly. Finished 45 metres from the winner in seventh over 2240m at Melton to launch his last preparation. He makes plenty of appeal in this most suitable assignment. BETTABLACK TIGER (11) is racing well with six top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at Hobart over 2090m. No favours expected from this draw. This is a nice drop in grade, so he is sure to prove tough to beat again. SPOT RULER (12) finished seventh last start over 2200m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit, so can play a big role. ANGUS INDIANA (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 2579m at Hobart on August 2.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing seventh behind Triple Vinnies at this track over 1680m in a NR 70 to 79 on August 10 at $31. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Ultimaction at Hobart over 2090m in a NR 65 to 74 on August 17 at $21. Rates highly. Big chance.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr2) over 2200m at this track, beaten 20 m by Watermelon Sugar (2:42.30) in No NR on July 20 at $8.50. Showed ability the run before when she won by 1.1 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (3:22.20) beating Ultimaction in 3yo+ NMT 6 LTW's on July 6 at $1.45. Sure to go well.
